Healing Works

Background

Young men of color are among the most likely people in our country to be harmed by violence. They are among the least likely to receive healing support when they are hurt. Such a disparity results from many factors, including media-fed perceptions of their over-aggression, poor access to services, and the broadly accepted normalization of the violence they suffer. HealingWorks Learning Collaborative addresses the compelling needs of these young survivors by delivering tools, resources, and community-building support to the people and organizations that serve them.
